2. Why Should I use Cao Ren?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cao Ren has a superb amount defense and health in the beginning of the game.
Plus normal attacks can't stop his normal string of attacks (only charge
attacks and Musou can). You can pretty much stand in a crowd of peons and start
attacking without ever being interrupted and continue your killing spree.
Although he may be in the slow side and low reach, he can always use his dash
attack to speed things up and of coarse, damage any enemies in his path. With
good defense and health, what would you expect from a guy fully clad in armor
and has a buckler blade as a weapon?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Brief Background on Cao Ren (Courtesy of kongming.net history archives)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cao Ren was one of Cao Cao’s younger cousins and one of the top generals in his
army. Like most of his cousins, Cao Ren enjoyed riding horses on the plains and
hunting in the great forests. Impressed by Cao Cao’s dedication to stopping
Dong Zhuo, Cao Ren gathered several thousands of volunteers from his home
county.Zixiao participated in many battles, including the fight for He Bei,
the wars against Lü Bu and Tao Qian, and the pursuit of Liu Bei. On the
battlefield, Cao Ren continuously displayed valor and loyalty. For his great
contributions, he was promoted to Auxiliary Corps Commanding Officer, General
Who Stabilises the West, Great General and Great Minister of War successively.
Under Cao Pi,Zixiao guarded Jing Zhou against Shu and Wu. He died of natural
causes in the AD 223 and was titled Loyal Lord posthumously
Note: Zixiao is Cao Ren's style name.

How to Get:
Stage: Escape from Chi Bi (Must be done on Hard Mode)
How to Get: Defeat Guan Ping, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, and
Han Dang (basically every officer that ambushs Cao Cao all) and Sun Quan
before the allied officers slow down the enemy from reaching Cao Cao.
Strategy: Just follow Cao Cao, and during this time an enemy ambush appears.
Kill all of them. While you’re killing them enemy reinforcements will come
(Cheng Pu and Han Dang). Xiahou Yuan will come as your reinforcements. Take out
Dong Xi, which is right next to Cao Cao. Then head downward and finish Han
Dang out, and take out the enemy as well. You will get a message that Cao Cao
is starting march, quickly take out Cheng Pu and catch up with Cao Cao. Yet
another ambush will appear. Take out Chen Wu (Zhu Zhi's sub-officer). By this
time Zhang Liao will come as reinforcements. Keep going east and take out Zhu
Zhi and his checkpoint. Cao Cao will resume marching until he meets up with
Zhao Yun's ambush party. Take care of him and clear the enemy checkpoint east
of where Zhao Yun is. Xiahou Dun will come as reinforcements. Keeping going
west with Cao Cao and eventually you'll meet up with Zhang Fei's ambush party,
how many ambush parties are there? Defeat Jian Yong if you want to, but its
not necessary. Dispatch of Zhang Fei and let Cao Cao continue his march. Wen
Pin will come as reinforcements by the way. Alas if you thought that was the
last ambush party, you guess wrong, Guan Ping has arrived with yet ANOTHER
ambush party, getting old eh? Anyways defeat Guan Ping like all the other's.
Like all the other ambush party, reinforcements for Cao Cao has come, this time
Xu Zhu. Sun Quan will arrive at this time, now go all the way to bottom and
defeat him, he's not that hard, except he's swarming with sub-generals and
soldiers, defeat him, and the sub-generals if you want. By this time you should
have got a message that saids "Valuable item has been found" If you don't know
where it is, just go check your battle log to find it. Go back toward Cao Cao
getting the weapon box as you go along and meet Guan Yu. Don't worry you don't
have to battle him, he'll retreat. Liu Bei will appear though.Defeat him to
finally end the battle. Congratulations on getting your new Roc (if you did
everything right of coarse)

10. Frequently ask questions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whats the best place to max out Cao Ren in order to get his 4th weapon easier?
I recommend doing any 5 star stage, as the officers give out the best stat
increasers.
What are the best items for Cao Ren?
What I gave him was:
1. Tiger Amulet: More power means faster rate of killing people
2. Peacock Urn: More life means the longer you can stay alive
3. Tortoise Amulet: This along with Peacock Urn means more defense against enemy
hits.
4. Wind Scroll: Although not necessary, its recommended to use this because
since Cao Ren doesn't really have long reach, this will help you have longer
reach.
5. Ginseng (or whatever comes to your mind), I picked this because it means
faster refilling of my musou which = more killing, but hey, its your choice.
